Pretty LOL how many people here are quick to say he's better than Gaudreau. Gaudreau proved he can play an elite 200ft game -- he's easily a tier or two above Hubs. Giving Huberdeau the Gaudreau 8x10.5 is a considerable overpay that could leave the Flames in that mediocre zone.



The most exciting thing will be this year. Both guys on value contracts. The entire D are on value contracts. Markstrom, Lindholm, playing beyond their contract. Depending on Lucic/Monahan, Flames could be big contenders and in position to make moves midseason for a second straight year.
Easily a tier or 2 above Hubs? Hubs has outscored and been more consistent than Johnny the last 4 seasons.

Hubs
GP 286
Pts 346

JG
GP 290
Pts 321

He’s also way bigger. If Johnny isn’t scoring points, he’s useless. He stays away from everything physical because he’s too small. Hubs also plays the penalty kill which Johnny could never do. I think Hubs is the better player. Maybe you can argue they’re the same.
